tire question

01_dakota_r/t · Jul 2, 2008

first off why in the h*ll did dodge make the wheels and tires so different? i didn't realize it is really limited out there for wheel options. now i realize why hardly nobody has custom wheels. and the tires to go on the stock wheels are $220 a piece.

i found a cheaper way around that but what were they thinking?

anyway my question is are TOYO tires good tires? i've never had any and don't know anyone who has had them.

For the most part, Toyo's are an excellent tire.. but what type of Toyo?

my mechanic said they would need to be rotated about every year. does anyone know if thats true. he sounded like he was assuming.

rotate at every or every other oil change. i think its like 10k mi but if you chang em when you do the oil your good

Rotated 6k-8k depending on your driving.

It is an odd bolt pattern (Dak, Durango, Viper and Nissian Xtera, Fonter, Pathfinder). The selection is not as big as others but there is a good selection available.

I put toyos on mine, had michelins on it at one time but I like the toyos, I get 2 on at a time, mounted/balanced, and they take old tires for 245 a pair. 255/60/17 size.

your supposed to rotate all terrains and hard compound tires every 5-7k miles depending on driving and softer compounds like most low profiles and racing tires are 3-5k miles

It's not hard, they'll just wear worse.

I got the tires on my R/T right now for under $400 for all four. Don't think that you have to use the stock size because you don't. But if you do want to use the stock size, look for the Federal SS-595s. Less than $100 per tire and the people using them seems to like them better than the shitty stock RSAs.

Just be glad you don't have 2 different size rims on the front and back and unidirectional rims. Can't rotate ever.
